I will never forget returning to the pitch after my serious injury. It was on my birthday and it was against Hamburg, so it was a derby. The whole stadium stood up and shouted my name - it was a very special day for me. I'm a positive person and I knew I would come back. I fought and overcame the injury. An injury is nothing though when you see how many people are in hospital fighting for their lives. What are three months out when others are battling cancer? We have to think that way - that's why an injury is never really that bad.

Naldo made his debut for the club, starting the whole game, in a 4–1 win against FC 08 Villingen in the first round of the DFB–Pokal.[298] Since joining Schalke 04, he quickly established himself in the starting eleven and found himself rotated in a centre–back position, competing with Matija Nastasić and Benedikt Höwedes.[299][300][301] This came after when his performance came under criticism.[302][303][304] Despite suffering a back problem, Naldo was able to make his 300th Bundesliga appearance against Bayern Munich on 9 September 2016, as the club lost 2–0.[305][306][307] He helped Schalke 04 keep four clean sheets between 20 October 2016 and 3 November 2016, including two against Krasnodor in the UEFA Europa League matches.[308][309][310][311] After missing one match due to a muscular problem, Naldo returned to the starting line–up against Bayer Leverkusen on 11 December 2016, only to be sent–off for a 4th minute for a foul on Javier Hernández, as the club lost 1–0.[312][313][314] After the match, he served a two match suspension.[315] Naldo returned to the starting line–up against Ingolstadt 04 on 21 January 2017 and helped Schalke 04 keep a clean sheet, in a 1–0 win.[316] Two weeks later on 4 February 2017, he scored his first goal for the club, in a 1–1 draw against Bayern Munich.[317] In a follow–up match against SV Sandhausen, Naldo scored his second goal for Schalke 04, in a 4–1 win to advance to the next round of the DFB–Pokal.[318] However, in a 1–1 draw against PAOK that saw the club through to the next round in the return leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 32, he suffered a partial tear in the adductor area.[319] After the match, it was announced that Naldo would be sidelined for the rest of the 2016–17 season.[320] Despite there's a chance that he could return before the end of the season, Naldo eventually made his return to the starting line–up in the last game of the season against Ingolstadt 04, as Schalke 04 drew 1–1.[321][322][323] At the end of the 2016–17 season, he went on to make twenty–nine appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Naldo said he demanded more seriousness and discipline from the young players.[324] Naldo was linked a move return to Wolfsburg but ended up staying at Schalke 04.[325][326] Since the start of the 2017–18 season, Naldo continued to establish himself in the starting eleven and formed in a centre–back partnership with Nastasić and Thilo Kehrer.[327][328][329][330][331] He scored his first goal of the season on his 35th birthday, in a 3–1 win against Stuttgart on 10 September 2017.[332][333] Naldo scored a header in the last minute of the game to help Schalke 04 drew 4–4 against rivals, Borussia Dortmund on 25 November 2017.[334] On 7 December 2017, he signed a one–year contract extension with the club, keeping him until 2019.[335] Naldo then scored two goals in two matches between 16 December 2017 and 13 January 2018 against Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig.[336][337][338][339] For his performance, he was named Schalke 04’s Player of the Month for November and December.[340][341] Two weeks later on 27 January 2018, Naldo scored his fifth goal of the season, in a 2–0 win against Stuttgart.[342] He helped the club keep five consecutive clean sheets between 25 February 2018 and 31 March 2018.[343][344][345][346][347] This was followed up by scoring in the next two matches against Hamburg and Borussia Dortmund.[348][349] Naldo, once again, was voted Schalke 04’s Player of the Month for April.[350] He made his 350th appearance in the league, coming against FC Augsburg on 5 May 2018, as the club won 2–1.[351][352] Despite missing one matches throughout the 2017–18 season, Naldo went on to make thirty–nine appearances and scoring seven times in all competitions.[353][354][355][356] For his performance, he was named 2017–18 season's kicker Team of the Season for the fourth time.[citation needed] Naldo went on to win the league's ‘Outfield Player of the Season’.[357] He also came third in the race for the German award of Footballer of the Year, finishing behind Nils Petersen and Toni Kroos.[358]
At the start of the 2018–19 season, Naldo was appointed as Schalke 04’s vice–captain by Manager Tedesco.[359][360][361] However, he made a poor start to the season, with the club only won once in the first five matches of the season.[362][363][364][365][366] As a result, Naldo found himself in and out of the starting line–up, which saw him placed on the substitute bench.[367][368][369][370][371] Manager Tedesco defended his decision to leave out the player on the starting line–up, saying: "He [Naldo] was spared. When you see the intensity of the previous games against Porto and Bayern, it makes sense not to let a 36-year-old play three games in a week."[372][373] Despite this, he helped Schalke 04 keep two consecutive clean sheets between 3 October 2018 and 6 October 2018 against Lokomotiv Moscow and Fortuna Düsseldorf.[374][375][376] On 17 October 2018, Naldo signed a contract extension with the club, keeping him until 2020.[377] Shortly after, he captained Schalke 04 for the first time against his former club, Werder Bremen on 20 October 2018, as the club lost 2–0.[378] A week later against 1. FC Köln in the second round of the DFB–Pokal, Naldo captained Schalke 04 for the second time this season and helped the club win 6–5 in a penalty shootout following a 1–1 draw.[379] By the time he left Schalke 04, Naldo made thirteen appearances in all competitions.

Monaco
[edit]On 3 January 2019, Naldo joined Ligue 1 club Monaco on a one-and-a-half-year deal.[380] After the transfer was completed, Schalke 04’s executive manager Christian Heidel revealed that Manager Thierry Henry played a role to convince the player to join the club.[381] However, his wife later criticised Schalke 04 on her social media account, for their poor treatment of Naldo.[382] This prompted the club's executive manager Christian Heidel to respond to her post, saying: "I don't read any posts, neither from our players nor their wives. I care what he [Naldo] says. And everything is fine."[383]
He made his debut for Monaco, starting the whole game, and kept a clean sheet, in a 1–0 win against Canet Roussillon in the third round of the Coupe de France.[384][385] In his first two league games for the club, Naldo received a red card when he was sent off twice in seven days against Strasbourg and Dijon.[386][387] Even after serving his suspensions, he remained out of the starting line–up for the next three months.[388][389] Naldo did not make an appearance until on 1 May 2019, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute, in a 2–2 draw against Rennes.[390] Following this, he had a first team run ins that saw AS Monaco avoided relegation.[391] At the end of the 2018–19 season, Naldo went on to make nine appearances in all competitions.
After playing no competitive match in the 2019–20 season, his contract with Monaco was terminated on 17 January 2020.[392] Following his release, Naldo was linked a move return to Werder Bremen, but the club responded that they have no intentions of signing him.[393][394] He was also linked with a move back to his homeland country when Caxias do Sul linked on signing him but the move never happened.[395] Having failed to find a club in six months, Naldo said in an interview that if he failed to find a club by October, he will retire from professional football.[396]
International career
[edit]In March 2007, Naldo was called up to the Brazil squad for the first time by his then the national team's manager Dunga, but did not play.[397][398][399] Two months later on 17 May 2007, he was called up to Brazil's provisional squad for the Copa América.[400]
Naldo made his full debut in England's first match at the new Wembley Stadium on 1 June 2007 as they drew 1–1 with England.[401] Four days later on 5 June 2007, he made his second appearance for the national team against Turkey and kept a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw.[402] The next day, Naldo made the final cut for the Brazil squad for the Copa América.[403] He made his first appearance of the tournament, coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute for Juan, in a 6–1 win against Chile in the quarter–finals to advance to the next round.[404] Despite making one appearances in the Copa América, Brazil went on to win the tournament, once again defeating Argentina in the final.[405]
Following the end of the Copa América, Naldo was called up to the national team squad a month later.[406] He made his third appearance for Brazil against Algeria on 22 August 2007 and kept a clean sheet, as the national team won 2–0.[407] The next two years saw Naldo being called up by the national football team numerous times, but did not play.[408][409][410]
Having not been called up to the Brazil since 2009, Naldo said he was open to be included in the national team squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in his homeland country and 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[411][412] However, Naldo was never included in the squad for Brazil.[413]
Style of play
[edit]Naldo played as a versatile two-footed central defender. He stands at 1.98 metres tall and this height, combined with his jumping and heading ability, made him a big threat in aerial contests.[414][415] He was also well known for his set piece skill and according to Dunga, who coached him at the 2007 Copa América, he could hit the ball in excess of 60 mph using the cannonball free kick method, associated with other fellow Brazilians such as Roberto Carlos, Alex, David Luiz and Adriano.[416] Furthermore, he was capable of playing across the back line.[417]
During his time at Werder Bremen, he was the club's fan favourite in the regular team.[418] During his first few weeks at Bremen, fans likened him to an Ox due to his immense height and athletic build, as a result he was nicknamed The Beast, a name shared with players Júlio Baptista, Jonathan Parkin, Brian Jensen and Adebayo Akinfenwa. His teammate Tim Wiese described him as a best central defender in the league.[419] His manager at Werder Bremen, Thomas Schaaf, described him as "probably the most talented defender in Brazil".
His performance in the 2017–18 season led the German media praise his performance despite playing at age 35 at the time.[420][421][422] Naldo later credited Manager Domenico Tedesco for giving him self-confidence, and even calling him the best manager he ever had.[423]
Post-playing career
[edit]On 30 September 2020, Naldo returned to Schalke 04 as a coaching staff member and upon doing so, he announced his retirement from professional football.[424] Six days later, Naldo was critical of the club's performances in the 2020–21 season.[425] Naldo said in an interview on why he wanted to become a coach, saying: "Let's put it this way: It wasn't my primary goal. I thought for a long time whether I might become a consultant. But now I'm here at Schalke and I'm happy about it. I learn something new every day, I have a lot of fun."[426]
Naldo revealed that he used to play as a striker, saying: "I used to play a striker when I was younger, so something must have stuck. My uncle was also a striker, my father played in midfield. I've grown, and at some point I was better off with my 1.98 meters behind. That's a good thing."[227][427]
Personal life
[edit]Naldo is a devout Christian and has a large back-piece tattoo depicting Jesus on the cross with two angels on either side, one holding a guitar the other holding a heart. Over the tattoo it says in Portuguese "De Todo o Nos Livrai time Amém" ("Deliver us from evil, Amen"). The tattoo was done by Frank Kassebaum and describing it Naldo states "I am very religious, and have faith in God. It is to my family and will always protect me." In addition, Naldo has the names of his wife Carla and his son Naldinho tattooed on his forearms.[428][429]
Naldo is married to his wife, Bento Goncalvense Carla Paludo in 2007.[2][430] Together, they have two children, Naldinho (born in 2005) and Liz (born in 2009).[27][2][431][432][433] He spoke about adaptation in Germany, saying in the interview in 2009: "In Rio Grande do Sul, I had a chance and I was recognized. My adaptation in Germany was very good, as soon as I arrived I became the team's holder, and I demonstrated on the field that I was adapted. Outside of it, everything went very well too, my son he was born here and my wife identifies with German culture."[434] In December 2014, Naldo received German citizenship, having lived in the country since 2005.[435] Naldo stated two years ago that he wanted to apply for a German passport.[436] Like Naldo, his wife also obtained a German citizenship.[437] Having lived in Düsseldorf, Naldo moved to France, with his children continuing to go to school in the country, even after leaving AS Monaco.[426][438][439]
In addition to speak Portuguese, Naldo is fluent in speaking German, having learn the language when he first moved to the country in 2005.[440][441] In March 2016, he and fellow Bundesliga defender Sebastian Langkamp handed out the awards at the Berlin-based 11mm Film Festival.[442]
In June 2013, Naldo spoke out about the protest in Brazil, supporting the protestors, saying: "The people here love football. The protest is directed against politics and not against the FIFA World Cup itself. I think the protests are good and important. It is right to demonstrate for a fairer Brazil so that everyone is better off. Brazil needs more clinics and schools. More money has to flow into the social system."[443] In March 2017, he was appointed as the integration sponsor of the Bundesliga Foundation.[444]
Naldo said he does not drink alcohol, preferring to drink water.[445]
